Daniil Medvedev says 'idiots' ruined Australian Open final and he may now skip Wimbledon

The Telegraph  

It had come from the racket of Medvedev, who duly celebrated his two-set lead with both arms above his head and a prolonged gesture – some might say taunt – to all corners of the Rod Laver Arena. Medvedev was three games away from his second Grand Slam when he suddenly began complaining to umpire John Blom about the ball boys and ball girls and their patterns of distribution. Blom tried to get this changed but, with Medvedev then losing that set, worse would follow as the crowd became ever more unruly in their support of Nadal. Of course most people would be rooting for Nadal, the 35-year-old legend who was going for a record-breaking 21st Grand Slam title. In his post-match press conference, Nadal reminded Medvedev of his own bitter experiences in several Australian Open finals – notably the five set thriller he lost in 2017 to Roger Federer when the crowd were urging the Swiss on.
